| I happened to see this male Brown-headed Cowbird sitting near my feeders yesterday afternoon. I asked him " Do you guys know we're supposed to get a hard freeze tonight? maybe you all should bring out the long johns"" |
 |
| Then he gives me this look and says" Say what? It's Spring lady, we're supposed to have warm weather." |
 |
| Then I get this disgusted glance as I tell him again how cold it's going to get. |
 |
| So he looks away, and says" I just don't believe you." "OK, I say, but remember where you heard it first" |
 |
| Then he looks me right in the eyes and says " All right, I'll pass on the word to all my friends, but I still say you are wrong!" I wasn't wrong, it dropped to 15 deg this morning..I hope all the Cowbirds were comfy last night.. Click on over to http://pineriverreview.blogspot.com to see more birds. |

you had perfect captions for his expressions. :) i wish more of my cowbirds would head north! we've still got too many hanging around our feeders!
Your birds are quite conversant.
Cute pictorial essay Becky!
I'd had a few cowbirds but thankfully not too many. They eat too much!
Beautiful bird and great photos! This one I never seen,
Gorgeous shots of the cowbird, Becky! The light reflecting off the plumage is beautiful!
Funny! I think they are such pretty birds, yet oh so naughty to other birds...kind of sad the way nature made these guys to use others~
Nice post! Great for WBW!
Fun series!! Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
He's very handsome! I wonder who will get to raise his babies this year :-) I hope you are wrong about the freeze. I hate to see that when spring is so far advanced.
Lovely photos!
Great shots of the Cowbird!
gotta love the dialogue
It seems our birds have little trouble with the cold weather, not like ballplayers. The first game has been played!
